Thank you to Fiona and Aisling Phillips, and to Andy, Virginie, Alice and Felix Prag for sponsoring this song.

lyrics

Follow to a hole
Falling for a while
Passing vertically

One side makes you grow
One side makes you small
What size should one be?

Curious and curiouser
Things aren’t what they seem
Queer old smoking caterpillar
What does all this mean?

Asking questions why
No sense did she find
Alice wanders on

Curious and curiouser
Things aren’t what they seem
Weeping turtle sleepy mouse
It must be time for tea

Curious and curiouser
Things aren’t what they seem
The Queen of Hearts is furious
This life is but a dream

Off with all their heads
Painting flowers red
There’ll be no one left

Curious and curiouser
Things aren’t what they seem
The Queen of Hearts is furious
This life is but a dream x2

Curious and curiouser
Things aren’t what they seem
The Queen of Hearts is furious
